Where There Is Coodensatioi 



— there is need for a Morehead Steam Trap. Condensation in 

 steam lines is akin to matter out of place — means wasted energy. 

 If your lines are sluggish — if your houses are not of uniform 

 temperature, write us. We guarantee to drain your lines per- 

 fectly — return the pure, hot condensation to your boiler without 

 pump or injector or make no charge for the trial. Obey that 

 impulse — write now.

75 feet. The proposed plan for using 

 the houses should work satisfactorily 

 if the north house is used for plants 

 that grow well at 55 to 60 degrees, 

 and if a part of the radiation is shut 

 off in the carnation bouse. While a 

 temperature of 50 degrees answers well 

 for most kinds of carnations, some va- 

 rieties like 52 to 55 degrees, but none 

 of the common varieties of roses do 

 well unless kept at about 60 degrees 

 and a few sorts should have 63 degrees. 



BOILEB PROBABLY TOO SMAU.. 



I have one greenhouse, 20 x 66, with 

 4-foot side walls and a height of about 

 nine feet to the ridge, and with two 

 feet of glass in the south wall. The 

 house is attached to the west side of 

 my dwelling. There is a glass parti- 

 tion, making two rooms, 20 x 30 and 

 20x36. I heat the east room to 50 

 degrees and the west room to 45 de- 

 grees. The outside temperature in this 

 part of North Dakota frequently 

 ranges from zero to 20 degrees below. 

 I have a Wilks boiler, 30 x 42, with a 

 3-inch opening. I use hard coal. Will 

 this boiler heat another house, 22 x 40, 

 built on the west end? It will have 

 an iron frame, with a cement wall six 

 feet high, three feet under the ground 

 level and three feet above the ground. 

 There will be thirty-two inches of glass 

 in the south side and the west end. I 

 want a carnation temperature. The 

 boiler is in a pit, eight feet deep, north 

 of the west house and near the center. 

 A. D. S. 



To maintain temperatures of 50 and 

 45 degrees, respectively, in the two 

 rooms, under the severe conditions men- 

 tioned, will require at least 450 square 

 feet of radiation, and the house which 

 it is proposed to add will require nearly 

 as much more. A Wilks heater with ft 

 grate measuring 30 x 42 inches is rated 

 by the manufacturers as good for 600 

 square feet of radiation and hence it 

 would be hardly safe to use it for heat- 

 ing both houses. While the grate areas 

 in the Wilks keaters are unusually 

 large for their rating and they might 

 exceed it for short periods, there would 

 necessarily be a waste of fuel.

A Steady 

 Pressure 



will always 

 be main- 

 tained in 

 your steam pipes, no matter 

 how the pressure at the boiler 

 fluctuates, if you equip your 

 main lines with these valves. 

 Carry 40 or 50 pounds pressure 

 on the boiler, set the 



Hughson 

 Regulating Valve 



to carry 5 or 10 pounds on the 

 line and you will always have a 

 reserve in case of a sudden drop 

 in temperature. This valve 

 saves both fuel and worry. Ask 

 for catalogue and particulars.
